"He’s in a Tough Situation." Deschamps on Mbappé’s Psychological Struggles

France national team head coach Didier Deschamps commented on the psychological state of Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé.

Earlier reports had suggested that Mbappé was dealing with psychological issues.

Quote: "He’s in a difficult situation. I’ve spoken to some of my players, and it’s always ‘we must, we must, we must,’ and sometimes they don’t respond or respond worse, and that can lead to various psychological states...

As for depression, I’m not sure, but his psychological state is fragile. It’s the mind that commands the feet.

Kylian's future with the national team? There’s no reason to believe he won’t return to his best form. I want that, and I see no reason why he won’t. He’s going through a tough time, but he has everything he needs to get back to his best," said Deschamps.

Reminder: Deschamps did not call up Mbappé for the French squad’s Nations League matches in November. This sparked rumors that Kylian might consider retiring from his international team.

The president of the French Football Federation, Philippe Diallo, has already responded to this speculation.
